RELAXING RIVERSIDE RETREAT FOR TWO

Situated right on the banks of the River Rothay and a mere 5 minutes level walk from the village centre, Overbeck makes for a superb bolthole for a couple, whatever time of year you choose to visit Ambleside. The sight and sound of water is so soothing and this stretch of the Rothay is home to an abundance of wildlife; herons, ducks and even an otter.

Those water babies among you will enjoy getting into the river from the door and paddling your kayak or paddleboard down to the Lake whilst anglers will please pleased to know that this stretch of water is outside of WADAA control and although an Environmental Agency rod licence is required between the season, 15th March to 30th September, no additional fishing licence is required. Perhaps you’ll catch your own supper!

TAKE IN THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF THE WATER FROM THE DINING TABLE

Overbeck sits proudly at the end of three properties under the same ownership, all sharing in a delightful lawned picnic area at the water’s edge. Accessed via a footbridge from the parking area, Overbeck’s windows face towards the river, the dining table providing a front row seat! The sofas are strategically placed in front of the wood burning stove and a neat but perfectly functional kitchen will ensure you can properly self cater if you so wish.

The spacious bedroom on the first floor has a king size bed to ensure a good night’s rest and plenty of room for a cot if you’re bringing your little one with you. There’s a powerful shower over a deep pea shaped bath in the en-suite and of course, like most of our retreats, Overbeck is dog friendly so your four legged friend can also join in the fun – and what dog doesn’t love a paddle? Secure storage is available for sports equipment if required and there’s private, off road parking for two cars.

Lakeland Retreats is a family run business based in the heart of Ambleside. We provide holiday makers with a choice of hand picked self catering properties to enjoy the beautiful Lake District.
